Pancake Morning!

I woke up this morning and chose to make some pancakes. Of course I'm not Suzy homemaker so I went on a search for the box of mix. No luck, We didn't have any left. I went to the trusty google machine! I found a really yummy (And Easy) recipe for homemade from scratch pancakes and berry Syrup! Oh yummy!! I figured I would share, because they were good. I probably wont ever buy syrup or pancake mix again. The recipe I found sounded a little weird to me so I tweaked the recipe. Making my own! I wasn't totally sure Nate would love the berry syrup but shocking to me, he loved it. We paired with Turkey bacon this morning also. Made for an amazing breakfast this morning!

~Pancakes

Dry Mix:
1 1/4 cup flour
2 Tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powders
1 teaspoon salt

Wet Mix:
1 Beaten egg
1 cup of milk
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Teaspoon oil

Directions:
Combine dry ingredients in one bowl. In a separate bowl mix the wet. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet. Mix together until smooth.

Cook about 1/8 cup of batter per pancake (This is an estimate. I used a 1/4 cup measure and filled it about half way and dumped it in the pan) in a medium heated skillet. Flip when bubbles raise to the top of the pancake. This recipe made about 10 pancakes using the estimated 1/8 cup batter method.


Berry Syrup:
In a medium saucepan simmer the following until thick, and berries are cooked.
1 1/2 cup frozen berries (This morning I used blueberries)
4 Tablespoons of sugar (I imagine splenda could be used to cut calories/carbs)
Juice of half a lemon (Although I used the concentrate because I am out of lemons, so it was about 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice in a container)
